People describe me as the leader’s leader. The person who can help to make the complex simple. Able to offer the simple, practical, next step, in a strategic context. The person leaders lean on when they are facing situations and circumstances that are at the same time challenging, exciting, offering opportunity, and often moving through uncharted territory. A pathfinder if you like.
Today, I describe myself as a leadership visionary. I am focused on future proofing CEOs. Their leadership, their people, and their organisations. It is about leadership. Of self, of your tribe, and your world. I believe leaders have a fundamental responsibility to lead. No more placeholding a spot on the organisation chart. It is about navigating with intention through the unknowns that are part of the complex we operate in. It is about leading possibility.
This means leaders need to learn and grow, to experiment, to develop others and to stretch beyond what they thought possible. To continuously create capability, to question, to explore, to advocate, to innovate, to disrupt. Leadership today, requires a proactive approach. No more relying on yesterday’s performance. Our world moves too fast for yesterday’s success to guarantee a future.
In 2023 I received the Thought Leader Of The Year Gold Award at the International Stevie Awards for Women In Business in New York. One of her 14 Stevie awards. I have been twice named in the global LinkedIn Top Voices, and multiple times in Thinkers360 Top Voices globally and for APAC.
With a talent for translating complex concepts into simple and practical ideas for immediate application, I am the author of seven Amazon #1 best-selling books about leadership.
I am focused on futureproofing CEOs. Their leadership, their people, and their organisations. I have helped 1000’s to develop their leadership competence, confidence, and credibility so they can:
? Build the practical foundations for effective leadership
? Get out of the trenches, to lead strategically & with influence
? Transition quickly and effectively to leading larger, more complex portfolios
? Effectively lead change and transformation
? Create a leadership coaching capability
? Create the space to lead, for greater influence and impact
? Create HP executive teams – enabling rather than impeding progress.
? Develop horizon thinking
I typically speak at conferences, develop leadership strategy, and programs, consult, and coach with clients in Australia and all over the world.
